Reason

Rather than sending podcast links from Apple or Google on to friends and not knowing which app they're using, or if they've listened to it, or if they've liked it - with Reason I can send a link to the episode using the app or the website, or I can tag them directly in the episode and then involve them in the discussion. YouTube has comments Other media has comments Why has no one done social podcasting before? It's the best podcast app I have now, hands down.

Hey Product hunt! 👋 Klaas here from the Reason team sharing our social podcasting app! Despite the ‘social players’ around we missed a focus on your friends, tagging, time-stamping and seeing what your friends are listening to. 🏷️ Tag your friends and hosts 💬 Comment on episodes 👀 See what your friends are listening to 🗣️ Join the conversation - Trending episodes with a lot of comments 🔥 Discover trending episodes and podcasts in the discover tab For hosts: 📍 Claim your podcasts by going to your podcast’s page (a claim code will go to your RSS feeds email address). 📈 See data about your listeners 🤗 Engage with comments and questions It started as a side project a few years ago but after I met @samharristweets and @jack_hughes3 we went full steam ahead and went through Techstars (London) and raised some funds! It’s been a long time in the making with a lot of beta testing and we are happy to bring it to you! We’d love to hear your thoughts and invite you to "Reason" with us anytime 🤟

I've been following this app from the start. Reason FM is my go to app to listen to podcasts and immediately share it with my friends. It even made me listen to more podcasts because of the simplicity! Keep up the good work folks!

I've been listening and loving podcasts since 2014, but never actually socialized around it, there was not seamless way to do it. This completely changed with Reason, I not only discuss topics on the episodes with friends and their friends, but also discovered LOTS of new podcasts from my network's feed that otherwise I wouldn't have ever found 🤩 I'd recommend anyone to check out the app, worth the time!

As a podcast lover I was interested to try Reason . I was surprised how quickly I became hooked. It's so much more fun discovering through friends and having people to talk with about the things you're interested in. I've has some epic discussions in the app about philosophy, relationships, money, it's just fun and a natural extension to the edutainment I'm after. Great work @samharristweets @klaaz0r

As a podcaster and and an avid podcast listener, Reason is the first app I open every day. Super easy to discuss new insights and thoughts with friends, I highly recommend it to everyone!

Loving the app so far! The user interface is head over heels better than any podcast app I've used on Android and that's a big win for me. The social aspects are engaging, but not too in your face. Being able to spy on what your mate's are listening to is oddly fascinating and introduces you to all new podcasts. Last but not least being able to directly engage with the hosts and your connections relative to an episode is a really nice touch IMO. It allows for quick tags if you think someone might be interested or deeper/more banal discussion if so desired. All in all keep up the good work chaps!!
